[Regarding Python 2 - in Python 3 just use normal strings that are always Unicode.] // quick example of encoding and decoding a international domain name in Python (from Unicode to Punycode or IDNA codecs and back). Pay attention to the Unicode versus byte strings
# INCORRECT! DON'T DO THIS!
>>> x = "www.alliancefrançaise.nu" # This is the problematic line. Forgot to make this a Unicode string.
>>> print x
www.alliancefrançaise.nu
>>> x.encode('punycode')
'www.Alliancefranaise.nu-h1a31e'
>>> x.encode('punycode').decode('punycode')
u'www.Alliancefran\xc3\xa7aise.nu'
>>> print x.encode('punycode').decode('punycode')
www.alliancefrançaise.nu

Compile older compiler (gcc 4.9) on Arch Linux

In Arch Linux, you can use the AUR to compile your custom version of GCC (example with gcc 4.9)

[Alternative 1]: using the AUR manually

mkdir -p $HOME/build/
cd $HOME/build/
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/gcc49.git
cd gcc49
makepkg --syncdeps
sudo pacman --upgrade gcc-4.9.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

4chan’s guide to converting GIF to WebM - https://boards.4chan.org/g/res/41212767

Grab ffmpeg from https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html

It's a command line tool which means you will have to type things with your keyboard instead of clicking on buttons.

The most trivial operation would be converting gifs:

ffmpeg -i your_gif.gif -c:v libvpx -crf 12 -b:v 500K output.webm
  • -crf values can go from 4 to 63. Lower values mean better quality.
  • -b:v is the maximum allowed bitrate. Higher means better quality.
